Chapter 46 Reading and literacy?

After waiting for a while, the ** Anli Patrolman came soon. Sure enough, just as the middle-aged uncle said, after a team of patrolmen arrived at the scene, they understood what happened, checked the woman's condition, and confirmed the death.

It didn't take long for the two patrolmen, waving their batons, to drive away the crowd, clear the passage, and let the two Japanese drive away.

During the conversation, it was all friendly, many of whom were flattering. From killing the woman to driving away, the two Japanese did not say a word of apology.

The onlookers clenched their fists, and many people looked at the Buick car that was leaving quickly, showing hatred, but no one dared to do anything.

"It's gone, it's all gone, why are you still around? Hurry up!" After finishing the matter, a patrol policeman with a ferocious face glared at the crowd, waved a baton, and shouted at the surrounding crowd.

The surrounding crowd quickly dispersed, Yu Hua retreated to the side of the street, and his eyes fell on the little girl who was still pushing the woman's body in the center of the street. After the pair of patrol officers left, they walked towards the center of the street.

"Mother..." The little girl squatting beside the woman's voice was already hoarse, her eyes were full of crystal clear tears, and a pair of small hands still kept pushing her mother's body.

Yu Hua squatted down and grabbed the little girl's hands, the little girl seemed to be frightened, she was stunned, raised her dusty face, and looked at Yu Hua.

The two looked at each other.

Yu Hua smiled and said, "Little sister, go home with your brother, okay?"

"Okay..." The little girl felt the warmth from Yu Hua's hands and was stunned. Tears suddenly flowed out uncontrollably. She was silent for a second, nodded heavily, suddenly thought of something, and quickly pointed to the mother next to her: " Mother...and mother."

"Don't cry, your tears will freeze."

With a gentle smile on Yu Hua's face, he stretched out his hand to wipe the little girl's tears, looked at the little girl's eyes as bright and clear as the moon, and said softly, "Mom is asleep, she's too tired, let's not disturb mom's sleep, OK?"

The little girl nodded heavily: "Okay..."

"Let's go home." Yu Hua picked up the little girl, didn't despise the dirty things on her body, looked back at the woman lying on the ground, and said in her heart that I would take good care of her, so she took the little girl to the The stalls opened in the street are gone.

When he came to the stall selling firewood, Yu Hua took out a silver dollar and handed it to the peddler owner: "Please trouble the shopkeeper. When the body collector comes, give him this silver dollar. After the woman is buried, come to Jinguo Hutong No. 18." Inform the location of the burial."

There are professional corpse collectors in Peiping City who are specially responsible for collecting corpses. They push a small cart to collect corpses throughout the city and transport them to the 'righteous land' for burial of corpses. Generally, most of the corpses collected are children, most of whom died of starvation and illness. , and a few are adults.

The hawker owner who sold firewood sighed and took the silver dollar with both hands: "You are kind-hearted, little brother. I have accepted this silver dollar, and I will hand it over to the corpse collector."

"Excuse me." Yu Hua nodded, and immediately left with the little girl in his arms.

After a while, Yu Hua arrived at the door of Chongwen's house. The little girl in her arms bit her index finger and looked at the door with big watery eyes, full of curiosity.

Knock on the door and wait.

Not long after, the front door opened.

"Master." It was Xu Rui who opened the door. Seeing Yu Hua, who was holding the little girl at the door, he was surprised and quickly stepped aside.

Yu Hua walked into the hospital with the little girl in his arms and asked, "This weekend is a holiday, come back, where's Erya?"

After Mr. Tan's meticulous treatment, Xu Erya's condition has improved a lot. She went home to recuperate a few days ago. It is not suitable for heavy work within a month, and she needs to recover the lost funds.

"Er Ya just decocted medicine and embroidered shoes in the house." Xu Rui quickly closed the door and followed behind Yu Hua, without asking what happened to the little girl in Yu Hua's arms.

Holding the little girl looking around in his arms, Yu Hua said, "Call Erya, take her to take a bath, change into a new set of clothes, and get some food, not too much."

"Yes." Xu Rui nodded, turned and ran to the seat.

"Brother, where is this place?" The little girl looked around, her eyes finally fell on Yu Hua's face, and asked.

Yu Hua smiled and said, "Home, our home, by the way, my brother hasn't asked your name yet."

"My name is Tang Yuan... Yuan, brother, where's the mother?" The little girl was a little vague.

Yu Hua smiled: "Mother is still sleeping, Yuanyuan, when a sister comes to take you to take a bath, eat, and change into new clothes, do you think it's alright?"

"Okay..." Tang Yuanyuan nodded heavily.

Soon, Xu Rui and Xu Erya came and came to Yu Hua's side.

"Hello sir." Xu Erya, who had just recovered from her serious illness, was wearing a women's long gown, her delicate body showed a morbid beauty, and her face was beautiful. She saluted Yu Hua with joy in her eyes.

"Er Ya, this is Tang Yuanyuan. You will take her from now on. You can take her to take a bath, eat, and change into new clothes." Yu Hua put down Tang Yuanyuan in his arms and arranged.

Xu Erya nodded: "Okay, sir."

He took a step forward and stretched his right hand towards Tang Yuanyuan.

Tang Yuanyuan was a little scared, she took a step back and looked up at Yu Hua.

"Follow my sister to take a bath, it's alright." Yu Hua touched Tang Yuanyuan's forehead and reassured him.

"Okay." Tang Yuanyuan nodded heavily, stretched out her right hand, and held it towards Xu Erya who was smiling.

Xu Erya made a salute to Yu Hua and left with Tang Yuanyuan, heading straight to the kitchen.

In the courtyard, Yu Hua and Xu Rui were left.

Yu Hua looked around and found that the yard was clean. He nodded and turned to look at Xu Rui, who was silent beside him. He looked like a qualified assistant: "This child's mother was just hit by a Japanese car. When I died, I couldn't bear it, so I brought it back."

"I was hit by a Japanese car?!" Xu Rui was stunned when he heard this.

"Yeah, I was killed. I didn't understand the meaning of China's weakness before, but today I finally understand." Yu Hua sighed softly. In the past, he always read the term China's weakness in Chinese and history books. , didn't know what it meant.

Only now, after seeing the Japanese drive a car to kill a woman, he left with a swaying swagger. The patrol police who came here not only did not help the compatriots, but helped the other party. Only then did Yu Hua really understand what it is—China is weak.

This is the fate of the weak!

A bloody fact.

"Ruizi doesn't understand." Hearing Yu Hua's sigh, Xu Rui thought for a while and shook his head. He was ignorant and could not associate Tang Yuanyuan's mother with Zhonghua Jiwei.

Yu Hua turned his head, looked at Xu Rui who was puzzled, and said solemnly, "The Japanese are the culprits who made Yuanyuan lose her mother and ruined your family. Do you understand now?"

The words sounded like thunder.

"Master, is what you said true?" Xu Rui was stunned, and immediately reacted, with a hint of hatred in his eyes, and said eagerly.

Yu Hua affirmed: "It is absolutely true. After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan demanded huge war reparations from China, and signed the most unequal and vicious Shimonoseki Treaty, which put China in a difficult situation, and the people were caught in dire straits. One tax after another is on the shoulders of the Chinese people..."

If the Treaty of Nanking is the root of all evil, then the Treaty of Shimonoseki is the most vicious one, affecting the whole of China.

In addition to the ineffectiveness of the government's disaster relief, the reason why there are countless victims of the severe drought in Sichuan and the death of hunger is inextricably linked with the Treaty of Nanjing.

"Japanese devils..." With Yu Hua's affirmation, Xu Rui murmured softly, his eyes revealing a deep hatred, and it took a while for him to react.

In the past, Xu Rui didn't know who the murderer was, but after Yu Hua's advice, he finally knew.

Yu Hua looked at Xu Rui's young face with a hint of intelligence, and said: "Xu Rui, can I trust you?"

"Master, Xu Rui can't repay the master's life-saving grace, but he is driven by his own heart. He is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the master." When Xu Rui heard this, he immediately reacted and glanced at Yu Hua, who had a serious face. , As if he understood something, he knelt on one knee and saluted with fists.

Kneeling on one knee, this is the rule after Yu Hua repeatedly requested, Yu Hua really can't stand Xu Rui kneeling on both knees at every turn.

silence.

Dead silence.

Xu Rui held his breath and did not dare to raise his head, so he had to keep still.

I have to say that Xu Rui is a talented person. He dragged his younger sister and escaped from Jiangyou, Sichuan to Peiping, thousands of miles away. The bumps and dangers along the way are unimaginable for ordinary people.

After ten breaths of time, Yu Hua's voice came: "As expected of two years of private school, get up, you don't have to call me master, just call me sir. I'm leaving soon, and the house will be yours from now on. Take care, wait for a corpse collector to come to tell Yuanyuan's mother the location of the cemetery. You should write it down and try to avoid going out as much as possible on weekdays to avoid right and wrong. You, Erya and Yuanyuan are still young, and the books in the main bedroom are left to you and Er. You watch, you need to teach Yuanyuan to read and write, if there are any questions that you don’t understand, write them down on the scratch paper and leave them to me to answer them, but do you still have questions?”

Inside and out, Yu Hua explained everything carefully. Next, he had to focus on his studies, and he didn't care about Xu Rui and Tang Yuanyuan.

"Old...Sir, can Rui Zi really be able to read and write?" Xu Rui was stunned again when he heard Yu Hua's arrangement, his eyes showed surprise, his mouth stuttered, and his words even trembled.
